Petit Eva: Evangelion@School (ぷちえゔぁ〜EVANGELION@SCHOOL〜) is a 4-koma school parody manga and CG animated Online Animation featuring the characters from Evangelion drawn in a super-deformed style.

Plot
The story takes place in Tokyo-3 and everyone, including human-sized versions of Evangelion Unit-01 (Evancho) and Jet Alone (J.A. Chan), attend junior high school. Misato is the teacher, while Gendo is the principal. All 3 versions of Rei Ayanami also appear in the series: the first is the youngest, the second is like the Rei II from the TV series, and the third is based on the alternate reality Rei from Episode 26.

Video Game
There is also a Nintendo DS game, Petit Eva: EVANGELION@GAME, published by Bandai Namco Games in Mar 20, 2008, which provided some character profiles, and was the first appearance of Mari's name.
In this game, players take control of Shinji Ikari to complete 48 minigame levels, each one representing a week in the game's calendar. There are five different types of minigame. Touch Adventure levels utilize a point-and-click mechanic, asking the players to use the DS touch pad to draw circles around different items, to progress through the level's dialogue tree. Touch Action levels are side-scrolling action segments in which the player must move various objects in and out of Shinji's road to get to a goal before a timer runs out. Touch Puzzle levels involve moving objects around on the screen to complete a variety of challenges, such as rearranging wire puzzles and solving math problems. Tapping Time levels require the player to rapidly tap the touch screen with the stylus in order to keep up momentum and reach a goal in time. The final kind, Heart Quiz levels, operate like a game show, where the other characters provide questions and statements to Shinji, and the player's job is to select the best response from a list of answers.
Completing levels will also unlock items, which the player can access through the Items menu. Items have an image, a short description, and information on where they were unlocked.
